in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,
as follows:

Section 52A of chapter 112 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 1998
Official Edition, is hereby amended by
adding the following paragraph:-

If a registered dentist contracts with a referral service and a fee
is required for the registered dentist to be part of the referral service
network, the referral service shall disclose the existence of the fee
arrangement
in any newspaper, radio or television advertisement, or in any
display sign, personal solicitation or other manner of advertising. The
disclosure shall plainly state the existence of the fee arrangement between the
referral service and the dentists belonging to the referral service network and
shall further state that only dentists who pay a fee are participants in such
service.
